Testimonials

The most convincing thing I can say about my practice is that people benefit from it. What I do is difficult to describe without sounding a bit weird and esoteric.But the results are real. See for yourself.

We are all on a collision course with ourselves. Inevitably, our existing habits will be counter-productive to achieving our bigger picture goals. To avoid the crash, we need to regularly review how we are doing things and make adjustments as needed.

"No Judgement, Freeing, Life-Changing"

"What I liked most working with Mark is the sense of new possibilities; the feeling of connection with energies greater than myself; and experiencing the changes that come through receiving from those energies. Mark will ​guide, encourage, and support you every inch of the way and make sure it is a safe experience. I've done a lot of self-development work throughout my life, and working with Mark accelerated my progress significantly."

"Sensitivity, Capacity, and Presence"

"I am amazed by the moment-by-moment process in the here-and-now IST involves. It’s nuanced, spacious, permissive. I get out of my own way, and find new meaning, more freedom to be, and trust whatever emerges. I get the opportunity to build a relationship with myself – to encounter what I find, to look at its hieroglyph, its pattern, what it spells. And to hold the possibility that, in its constant evolution, it may never ultimately spell anything. I really appreciate Mark’s perceptiveness, sensitivity, capacity, and presence. He seems to know where to go, what matters among the unfolding. He is engaged; gives his full attention. I was also able to engage with things that scare me, such as emptiness, from a very elemental, characteristic level."

"Caring, Fierce, Present"

"I kept seeing a perpetual cycle of wanting something, not believing I can have it, getting angry, then giving up and going numb. It would all happen so quickly but with working with Mark I was able to slow things down and see this pattern. It has helped me tremendously in creating a break in the chain. Mark is 100% present and he is able to meet me and match me no matter where I go or what I need. Whether it's softness and holding or roaring fire. He has range where some other practitioners don't.

If you're looking to work with Mark, be prepared for no bullshit. He's got your back but sometimes it won't be pretty. And that's for your greatest good."

"Helped me Feel my Feelings"

"I started going to see Mark during a very difficult time in my life. I had separated from my husband and had major surgery 8 or 9 months before, and then broken up with the first guy that I dated (which annihilated my last shred of confidence), so I was pretty much a wreck - not sleeping, not eating much, feeling just terrible all the time. Mark was so kind and solid, he made me feel safe and normal. He was like a refuge and a guide for me through a really dark hour. He didn't try to cheer me up or give me any platitudes -- he sat with me in the awfulness and helped me feel my feelings, and gave me a safe place to heal. That's where the magic really started happening. I moved through a lot with him, and it wasn't long before I started to feel relief, peace and confidence. I've been working with him for 2 years now and I feel so empowered and different - my business is flourishing and I feel happier within myself than I have in years. I feel clarity about what I'm doing, where I'm going and what I want. I'm so grateful to Mark. (He sure is a swell guy)."

"Committed, Dedicated, and Deep"

"My biggest breakthrough of working with mark is the realisation that changes are really happening. It is a shift of perspective - instead of looking at what is not achieved, I am seeing what has been achieved. Mark has been really instrumental in shifting my focus. He catches what in my mind appears insignificant and helps me to see the true nature of the situation - the real significance of the step.

Don't hold back, especially if you really want to move through old, stuck and ingrained patterns that have always seemed intractable to all previous efforts of change or transformation. "

"Empathetic, Sincere, Masterful"

"My biggest breakthrough working with Mark is hard to pinpoint because there have been so many ‘major’ breakthroughs. The breakthroughs I make as a result of each session (discoveries, insights, healing), creates a momentum which gives me the courage to continue go deeper with each session and to forge ahead outside of our sessions together.

Mark is extremely skilled at helping me navigate through the most intricate and extremely complex defense mechanisms and/or behavior patterns which I have unconsciously built up over my lifetime. Mark supports me in a way that makes it possible for me to go deeply into the messiest parts and feel them in a way that brings about profound insights and healing, both in and outside of our sessions.

I had no idea when I started I would uncover as much as I have. I feel I would not be able to do this without Mark’s help."

He brings compassion, integrity and grunty gritty-ness to this work - refreshing and necessary. This guy is awesome."

"Effective, Enjoyable, Awe-Inspiring"

"My biggest breakthrough of working with Mark is that I could let go of a tough grudge completely. It was so easy and comfortable for Mark to help me get to a healing state of mind. If you're looking to work with Mark, DO IT! You won't regret it. I think you will be shocked at how effective this type of therapy is. I found that just one session of this type of therapy with Mark to be profoundly more effective than months of talk therapy. I can't recommend it enough! "
